Its not for academic purposes, just personal curiosity and interest

It wasn't destroyed, but dissolved by the emperor himself. After all, some dignity.

Is there a creature that has ever existed on this planet as vile, murderous or destructive as the human?
Dolphins.
Chimps
Anything sentient enough
>>991370
Can you show me the evidence of the havoc wreaked upon Earths flora and fauna by Dolphins and Chimps? Dozens of dolphins are slaughtered on a daily basis in the orient. A large portion of the Chimpanzee population are kept in cages if their habitat hasn't been destroyed
Animals kill each other all the time, often also members of their own species. They just don't have the ability to commit mass murders.

Is this the thread where we trigger germanophiles?
How can a "great leader" let so many beautiful Aryan women get raped by slavs?
Who cares about some breakaway German province.
What does /his/ think about it?

>Joke meme religion for eccentrics and freaks
But it isn't a religion. If you read wiki, it will say it's a religion, but wiki is stupid as fuck and doesn't give citation to anything from actual Discordian works.
It's closer to Absurdism than religion. It's a philosophy

And thanks
>there still hasn't been an interesting war of the 2010s
I feel bad for the people in 100 years who are going to research our era. Its so boring.
Which two major countries or groups will likely go to war with each other in the next few years?
>its a fat autists glorify death and misery episode
>>983823
We're in the throes of WWIII, and you can't tell.
Ponderous.
Symmetric warfare might as well be history.
And wars aren't waged to be interesting anyway.
Whats the motivation behind the double-headed eagle? Early Roman eagles had a single head, but the HRE, the Muscovites and the Byzantine Empire all prefer a double-headed eagle? Whats the reason of that?

Hey, guys. I don't think I've ever seen anywhere that supports honesty about our beliefs quite like 4chan, and I'm curious, what laws would you all like to see established?
Let's try not to get too boring with this. Anti-corruption laws aren't exactly what I'm looking for.
Pic unrelated.
>>1016746
The gradual implementation of a Land Value Tax in order to slowly eliminate corporate taxes and lower income taxes without losing revenue.
Anti-gerrymandering laws
Externality taxes
the repealing of the 1986 brady bill.
the repealing of the NFA.
muh guns reeeeee
Establishment of some actual militias, because fuck the National Guard.
If you own land, you should be able to take your shit and secede.
Elected Supreme Court, or at least fixed terms.
Was Roman Empire a superpower?
>>1006606
In the context of the ancient world, yes. It was an unchallenged hegemony in Europe matched only by Persia and China.
>>1006644
>only by Persia
Even then Persia never really was an existential threat to Rome; they were just too powerful to be subdued and could put up a good fight due to their (relatively) large size.
I'd say Rome is one of the few examples of an actual hyperpower existing in its context. They more or less controlled the entire "classical" world - few other polities can claim such absolute dominion of an area.
>>1006606
It only became a power, or really relevant in any way once it had embraced Christianity.
Rekt thread?
>norse warriors were """""""feared"""""" worldwide
Scandi here. The TRUE story which OP obviously leaves out and the PRO GAELIC site of Wikipedia also leaves out is that they lost because they all died from a rogue wave before reaching the battle and there actually was no battle because uh and also ehrm eh
and the 20 dead irish just dropped dead because FUCKING GAELICS ARE DUMB FUCK U

fuck off scandicunt, you guys are faggots
I am a Swede and the viking hype makes me feel mentally ill. Go Fetishiche someone else's history for a change.
>WW1 was a thing that happened
Can we all agree that WW1 is the most depressing time period in history?
I wish all the empires, monoarchies and old world order weren't destroyed.
>WW1 was literally a family disagreement
>>995417
pffff....no. big reason we run everything.
How comes despite having been a superpower, Poland never achieved anything worthy of notice?
>>1001313
Because it was never a superpower.
It was arguably a world leader in constitutionalism.
So are Ukrainians just Polish-Russians?
>being so fucking petty you use BCE & CE instead of BC & AD
Fucking cultureless athiest
>>996706
I think changing the dating system is fine (I don't have anything against the current one though) but I think BCE and CE are really stupid. What's the point of changing the letters when the date is still based on the Bible?
>>996706
>History is Christian.
Lyl.
Personally I don't care if cunts use either dating names. Its just arbitrary shit that keeps us from using fuckhuge numbers at the end of the day.
